Life Capture

I wanted to do a Life Capture tonight. I looked at my phone battery and saw I was running out of time, both to decide where to go and to take the video. I made up my mind to go to the IDS building and take a second video of the fountain, then compare it to the one I took before, which was during the day. When I neared the building, I gazed up at the skyline as if it would tell me where to find something more interesting. So consumed by trying to find something to look at, I had shut off my ears. Suddenly, I became aware of a street performer on a brass instrument. In my quest to find a picture I had forgotten all about sound. I pointed my phone towards the skyline and took a five second video of the sight I viewed when I heard the music. The sight is not that impressive (quite abstract in fact), but I post this as a reminder to myself and the world to keep not only their eyes open, but their ears. After taking the video, I tipped the performer fifty-some cents and continued on with my walk.

 

Life Capture

Another Life Capture post. I took two because I did not like the first one, but looking back at it it had its own interesting quality so I uploaded it and the second one. Watch for the ghostly reflections in this first one and compare to the person walking across the street… sort of interesting.

 

 And the second one has a bit more action going on.

 

 I like them both. Was sort of fun to take too, had to crouch down in the skyway to get the right angle.
